When I was young I spoke like a child
And I saw with a childs eyes
And an open door was to a girl
Like the stars are to the skies
It's funny how the world lives up to 
All your expectations
With adventures for the stout of heart
And the lure of the open spaces

There's two lanes running down this road
And whichever side you're on
Accounts for where you want to go
And what you're running from
Back when darkness overtook me
On a blindman's curve

I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon and St. Christopher

Now I've paid my dues 'cause I have owed them
But I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman
In such stubborn times
I have run from the arms of lovers
I have run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness
I have run just because I can

But I've grown and I speak like a woman
And I see with a woman's eyes
And an open door is to me now
Like the saddest of goodbyes
Well, it's too late for turning back
And I pray for the heart and nerve

I relied upon the moon 
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon and St. Christopher

I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon and St. Christopher to be my guid
